The "Schillig" ran aground enroute from Connstanta, where she had sailed in the morning of Nov 4, to Casablanca while passing the Dardanelles during the north-south course transit on the wrong side of the fairway on Nov 6, 2015, at 1:31 a.m. in the Nara region at the rocky tip of Kepez Dalyan. The tug "Kurtarma 4" and the lifeboat "Kıyı Emniyeti 9" were dispatched to the site. The ship was actually still being stuck with no rescue forces on site.
